White Board

[Bob Matcuk]

Tony found super cheap white boards at the Lowes off Nimitz. They're just big pieces of whiteboard without any mounting hardware, but a couple screws and washers are super cheap. Tony said there was a 4ft x 8ft board for only $16 at Lowes. They bought a smaller/cheaper one and hung it in the "classroom" if you guys want to check it out.

Anyway, for $16, I say we buy a couple and line a wall with them =)

I'm cool with that. If he showed you the one that has stickers already on it, that one is actually really hard to clean. It's not "dry erase" and sometimes takes some scrubbing to really wipe down. It's better than nothing though.

an option that was suggested to us ... a piece of glass mounted over white painted wall reportedly works very well as dry erase

I havent tried it yet.

Are those showerboards? If so they should work more than well enough
for our use.

I don't know what they are... but they look like a white board and act like a white board and they cost next to nothing. Would be nice to have some in HI Cap. You can ask Tony for more details about where exactly he found it in Lowes / brand name / whatever.

Matt: I don't know if it's the "one that already has stickers on it", but they just hung it last night and when I left at 9pm, there weren't any stickers on it.

haha. Clarity isn't one of my best .... there's a word for that.... Anyway.

Some people had problems with it on this wiki: http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/Shower_Board_as_a_white_Board
So long as the surface is smooth, it should be okay. TBJ guys had a board they had previously used (with stickers on it) but it had a texture and turned out to be difficult to erase.

So, I actually tried to pick up the white board stuff from Lowes yesterday, but it's 8ft x 4ft and won't fit in my car. I didn't even think about that until I got there... doh! Does anyone have a larger vehicle?
